Revue des colonies
TheRevue des colonies[1]was a French journal published in Paris from 1834 to 1843 that campaigned for the abolition of slavery, particularly in theFrench colonies.
It was under the leadership ofCyrille Bissette(1795 to 1858), the politician and founder of the Société d'hommes de couleur.
The monthly journal gives an overview of the state of the French and foreign colonies at that time. The Revue des colonies is the first French abolitionist journal written by black people; it was to become the bane of the French planters, especially those of Martinique, whom Bissette never forgave throughout theJuly Monarchyfor branding him with an iron and expelling him during theBourbon Restoration.[2][3]The first edition of July 1835 contains the bill formulated by the author for the immediate abolition of slavery.[4]
